Carlos Alcaraz beat Ben Shelton in the final of the Rolex Paris Masters on Sunday, winning the ATP 1000 event for the first time, according to Le Figaro. Eurosport framed the result as the end of an anomaly, referring to the Spanish player's previous absence from the Paris trophy list.
Live coverage from L'Équipe recorded Shelton breaking early in the match to lead 3-2. Alcaraz recovered to take the final, Le Figaro reported.
The title comes at the close of the Paris indoor tournament. Earlier in the week, Orange's tennis coverage followed Alcaraz's meeting with Casper Ruud, while RMC Sport carried the final against Shelton live.
Further details of the scoreline and match statistics were not included in the source material available.
With the Paris Masters decided, attention turns to how Alcaraz carries this form into the remainder of the indoor season.
